So I went to the dentist today and got really surprising news. You see, I have this wisdom tooth in my bottom left jaw that's growing sideways, pointing towards my tongue. The dentist said it's very rare as most people's wisdom teeth point away from their tongue.

Anyway, if I were to remove it, the procedure would be complicated and would require a specialist's hand to perform it. But the risks were what almost made me flip. Apart from having to saw into my jaw bone (which I am VERY hesitant about), he said that in performing the surgery, one of the nerves in my tongue might be affected. Which means that I could lose my sense of taste in one side of my tongue and my speech would also be affected.

Now, those are very serious things to consider. The dentist said that I should leave the tooth alone if possible. However, the gum around it is swollen and the wisdom tooth in my upper jaw is biting down on it. The professional recommendation was to remove the upper wisdom tooth (which is growing perfectly straight) to prevent it from biting onto my lower gum.

So I'm thinking about it. Wondering if that's really necessary 'cos he already cleaned up my lower gum and disinfected it. But it will get swollen again because of my weird wisdom tooth that's causing a gap between itself and the gum. So I'm still thinking about it.

Sigh. Well, at least the dentist said I have cute Japanese teeth.
